One of my favourite Halloween books for this time of year is called TheHallo-Wiener by Dave Pilkey.By the way, I'm linking this book idea to Deanna Jump's Book Talk Tuesday series. You may want to check out the book recommendations there once you're done this post!Now, The Hallo-Wiener is about a little daschund named Oscar.

Oscar gets his fair share of ribbing for being a wiener dog

and as you would expect, the teasing only gets worse when his mom buys him a "hot dog" costume to wear for Halloween.

Poor Oscar. The humiliation!

But everything changes when Oscar becomes a hero on Halloween night.

This book is hilarious and the perfect choice for the preschool or Kindergarten crowd.

It's definitely my favourite book for this time of year.

Halloween is still a few weeks away (and my Hallo-wiener book will have to stay under wraps for now!), but I plan on introducing a few Halloween inspired activities right away.

I want to squeeze in as many as possible before it's too late!

I just made these pumpkin printables today.

I'm going to print a couple copies of each and then laminate them for use at one of our centres.
